In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
Well, if you were United, what would you to after a bad loss?
There is no conspiracy here.. its just putting more stuff out to give people more to talk about than the performance.. This isnt unique to United or football either.. Happens all the time.This conspiracty theory lark never ceases to make me laugh
120 million for t'rashford
Oh I understand why the club is doing this.. I just expect most fans to be aware of whats happening by now.. and not fall for this nonsense every time..
I honestly never heard of him before yesterday yet now I'm disappointed if we don't sign him
This will be our daily routine. Big link to random player, followed by absolutely nothing. Repeat until window closes - let the fans melt down and watch as the fire dies down and the reality of the season sets in.
I mean, since when was Talkshite a credible source?
Thread should have been locked as soon as it was opened.
€50M for a no mark, good grief.

Then this is probably not happening. I have my concerns but out of the forwards we've been linked with, he seems the most interesting.
I remember people not wanting Salah because he had been sold by Chelsea, and therefor not good enough.
Many were negative when we were linked to Mane under LvG too.
ACunha matata.......no more worries if we get him
I watch a lot of atleti
He always gives everything for the badge, and runs his socks off. Would be a good signing in my opinion

Isn't he a bit of part time player for atletico? Only 8 games as a starter last season, and 6 goals. Nothing that screams 50M to be honest.
His record before with Hertha Berlin isn't great as well, his best season was 7 goals in 25 games as a starter.

Shame this is bullshit as it was actually you know an exciting prospect.
I think this is nonsense news. They would absolutely sell the player for 50M if we had indeed offered that amount. Talksport is likely talking crap again as we aren’t probably interested at all. Reminds me of them jumping the gun about United signing a reserve goalie from some Serie A club which didn’t happen at all
On to the next target.
I just think given all the trouble with signing FDJ due to lack of Champions League football, and our desperate need for signings, I don't feel we would ever have looked at him for real. Having said that, my theory of squeezing the club for all it's worth, my sarcastic idea that the Glazers' are tricking the management into selling more players to raise funds without planning to replace them, maybe it was a genuine 'target'...
dead in the water this one.
fecking Talkshite. At least it took less than 24 hours to shoot this one down, onto the next one.

I was hoping there was some crooked Mendes deal involved for this one. We pay an inflated fee for Cunha and they take Ronaldo off our hands in return.
This is going to be a bleak end to the window

Exactly, if we're going to gamble 50M on a prospect I would rather spend it on someone like Rafael Leao or Jonathan David.
This guy is pretty limited IMHO. Strong player, but not someone that would move the needle much for us. I think he would struggle early on and not have a great impact long term even if he were to improve. Pretty "meh" when we were linked and happy to move one from him...
Fair to say any good reputation TalkSport Sources had somehow managed to gain is very much mudded.
Well that was short lived
Maybe but he still said no to us...if we're getting straight up "nos" from guys like this it does not look good.
Guys like this as in guys at currently better clubs that have no intention to sell? We're hardly getting turned down by someone playing for a 3rd tier club.
Why would anyone want to come here and destroy their careers? We are in a huge mess with a volatile dressing room. It will be stupid to come, knowing all this.
We should sign Cunha and Mateta.
It means no worries...

Agreed, it's pretty embarrassing to guy like this to not want to join. He's more of an Everton type signing than a club of our size...so thats...not good.
Yeah and that Slovenian GK too
Yeah this was never on.
I ,naively, got too excited over this.
Why, had you even heard of him before the rumour?
Why is this bullshit allowed when I am getting DM's from uppity Mods about posting standards?
So did Cunha turn us down or was it just a bullshit story from the start?
To be fair it's a newbie with near 500 posts and 3 likes. Probably has a "do not promote on pain of death" mod tag by now.
A bit of both. Talksport jumped the gun and reported a supposed agreement when that was never the case. United did indeed approach Cunha's representatives to express their interest, but since Cunha's happy enough to stay at Atletico Madrid, no further progress was made.
Yea its getting a bit silly.
Lingard could press and had the odd goal in him too, now what?
I can’t say I seen the guy play much, I can think of about 10,450 better things to do with my life off the top of my head than watch Atletico Madrid play, maybe he’s a decent player, but 50m seems excessive.
There’s decent goal scorers out there that would cost way less and don’t play for top clubs that look to rinse us.
Undoubtedly the best striker United have been linked with as he makes sense tactically. He had some brilliant periods of form at Hertha. I'm sure if Ronaldo wants out something can be agreed between the club's.
